Every year, coaches dedicate over 200 million hours to help, support and inspire others to achieve their sport and physical activity goals.
Many are volunteers, driven by a love of sport and a desire to give something back to their community. UK Coaching’s own research has shown the positive impact of coaching on individuals and communities.
Through coaching, people become better at the sport or activity, but they also develop important skills in other areas of life too. They develop friendships and social skills. They become more confident and resilient. They lead happier and healthier lives, and this is true of both adults and children.
